another column of abuse to the B. k 31.

Sherman's removal-

The city is being aclorneel with a
shooting gallery eu Main street. It
would seem to us that there has been
about enough shooting going on on th
streets of our city lately, ami sue h places
for gathering crowds should be entirely
prohibited in the city.
The action of Mayor Richey in pre
hibiting the street concerts after lamp
light is to be comendeel by all.
Everything which tcuds te draw mixed
crowds of people together should be pro
hibite.el after night. All such things on

are having enough of them at piesent.

Memorial Day
Next Wednesday, May 30, ISSs, will
mark the the twentieth annual reoccur
rence of Memorial Day. Althemgh or
iginally instituted by the Grand Army,
the beautiful ceremonies born of our
ctimratlship has been so widely adopted
that memorial clay has become a great
national festival in which tender memo
ries and patriotic parposes rule the hour.
Let the graves of the dead be marked by
the pure blossoms of spring, which all
tongues speak the language of gratitude
and love. While all things else have
changed since the dawn of the first morn
of creation, they remain the same; they
blossom, bloom, wither and die the same
today as they did in the Garden of Eden.
A fitting tribute to smoulder into dust,
above the still and pulseless breast of
the departed. Cover them over yes,
cover them over,
Cover them over-ys. cover them over,
Parent and husband and hrotherand lover
Crown in your heart the.sedearcomradsof ouin
And cover tiieni over wit a beautilul flowers.
All, of whatever faith or creed, are in
vited to assist in commemorating the
memories of the day.

Accidental Shooting;.

Another case of aceide-htal shoeiting.
Last evening Fr.-iiik Whistler, having ob
tained an old pistol and some cartridges
went up by the stanilpipe w ith his broth
er to practice shoeding. While upthf.ro
Prank accidentally shot himself in the
leg. The v.eitin ! se enied to be very
slight and he walked ileiwn tenvn and
around epiite a while without complaint
ami in fact did not complain until after
he had gone to bed, when he began to
complain that hi-! leg was hurting and
after close examination ami questioning
it was learned that he had shot himself.
Dr. Cook yvas immediately called and
examined and dressed the wound and re
ports the little fellow yetting along very
nicely.
Such accidents, although this perpaps,
is very slight, are of too frequent occur
rence. There should !.. some means of
prohibiting boys i re m getting a hole! of
old pisto's and especially of cartridges.
Dealers she.ukl be prohibited by law
from selling t ) boys and by this means
such accidents would become less fre
